FEEL SURE THEY WON Oaptain Shilling and the Morton Cadets Confident. TO DRILL AGAIN THIS APTERNOON Receptions to the Washington . Companies. ENTERTAINED BY SPONSORS Special From a Staft Correspondent. CAMP SCHOFIELD, MEMPHIS, Tenn., May 15.—Capt. Shilling, his drill team and the majority of the soldiers and citizens now in Memphis are of the opinion that the Morton Cadets have won the maiden drill, hands down, and there is great joy among the company thereat. This feeling is due to the appearance of the Thurston Rifles, the only competitor of the Mortons, who drilled late yesterday afternoon in the maiden class. Capt. Scharff's men passed an excellent inspection and their drill was generally above criticism, but the company lacked the finish and smoothness that is apparent about the work of the youngsters from Weshington. Then, numerous errors were perceptible, and, what was most im- portant of ali, the Thurstons did not com- plete the program in the required time and were ferced to take a zero marking in_a dozen movements, it is claimed. The Mortons, it will be remembered, had , three minutes to spare for extra move- ments Monday. Uniess the inspec of the Mortons was very poor, which is by no means probable, the boys will certainly re- turn home with $1,0u0, the maiden prize, at least. The Governor's Guard of Memphis drill- ed yesterday in class B, open to companies that have never won first or second prize in an interstate competition. ‘he Gov- ernors made numerous errors and also fail- ed to complete the program in the required time. They are considered out of the race, thus leaving the fight for class B to the Mortons and the Thurstons. The Mortons drill tu this class this after- noon. The Tennessee Club gave a reception and ball on an elaborate scale last evening at its ndsome club house in honor of the National Fencibles. It was undoubtedly the social event of the season, and in at- tendance were the beauty, wealth and chivalry of Memphis, the guests including many of the sponsors and maids of other companies and officers of the regular army and of the militia galore. Miss Snowden will entertain the Fenci- bles at Camp Schofield Thursday evening instead of tonight, as heretofore arranged. The Fencibies are easily the foremos cial lions of the hour. The commissioned offic panies in camp, in addi citizens cf Memphis, graced the re! to the Morton Cadets last evening at the club house in Montgomery Park by their sponsor, Miss May Peters. The Iowa State Band was stationed on the lawn and the occasion Was a most en- joyable one. The attendance at the drills has quadru- pled since the opening day, and y thousands of persons were on th this afternoon awaiting the app the Morton Cadets in class B. In addition to the Mortons, McCarthy Light Guard will drill this afternoon, opening the com- petitions in ciass A, the drill for the cup. Fercibles Hard at Work. The Fencibles continue as favorites in the big drill. The champions, while keeping very quiet, are driliIng hard each morning and afternoon, and when they appear be- fore the judges Friday afternoon the spec- tators who are expecting great things are sure to be surprised at the excellence of the work of Capt. Domer and his men. Careful study of the practice work of the other companies strengthens the opinion that the Fencibles are undoubtedly winners. Company B, United Confederate Veter- ans of Arlington, Tenn., will reach the city Friday to drill against the local com- pany of ex-warriors. The old-timers have heard much of the Morton Cadets, and in & communication to General M: r Peters today requested that Captain Shill- ing’s boys meet them on their arrival in the city. The Mortons consider this guite an honor, and, headed by the Iowa State Band, the babies of the encampment will march to the depot and escort the old men to their quarter: The dr command fantry, twenty ion to the le ‘ade each evening, under of Col.

THE BRIGHT SIDE OF WAR. msers Cheer Crack Militin- men on to Victor Special from a faut Corresponds MEMPHIS, May 14, 1895. Memphis is witnessing the pomp and cir- ermstance of war without its darker side. Just outside the town limi in Montgom- ery Park, a little army is encamped, under strict military discipline and exemplifying in its parades, drills and daily round of duty the salient features of the soldier's life, less the hardships of the march and dangers of the battle field. The streets of the city are picturesque with various uni- forms, and the pavements resound to the measured tread of soldier boys off duty. All three arms of the service are repre- sented, and many of the people here are seeing for the first time field artillery and cavalry fully equipped and performing the evolutions of their drill. North, south and west are represented by the militia com- panies on the ground. The citizen soldiery of all sections are mingling here and be- coming acquainted, and among the most popular of the companies are the champion National Fencibles and the Morton Cadets of Washington. “The companies found Memphis in holiday attire, Mai street being gorgeously deco- rated with flags and bunting. The city is crowded with visitors, and altogether the cceasion is one of the gayest in the history of the south. ‘The Fair Sponsors. Of late years a prominent feature of interstate drills is the sponsors. The pret- ty girls—and they are really all pretty in Memphis—are very, very nervous. They have all donned the colors of their com- pany, and the streamers and ribbons flut- ter in the breeze when the pink roses on the hat of one fair creature meet the yel- low roses on the hat of her neighbor, as they talk things over. They have acquired quite a military style, saying “my com- pany,” or “my men,” in'a way that agitates the hearts of the men when they hear it.

A number of boxes of the grand stand at Montgomery Park are reserved for the sponsors and their chaperons. The Fen- cibles are well looked after by Miss Imo- gene Snowden, daughter of the command- ant of the encampment, Gen. R. B. Snow- den, and her maids of honor, Miss Suzanne Duke and Miss Annie B. Tracy. The ladies will tender the champions a reception at the drill grounds Wednesday evening. Miss May L. Peters, daughter of General Manager i. F the sponsor for the Morton Cadet Miss Edna Freeman and Miss Carrie Ramey, are de- lighted with their company, and are at the cump almost constantly inspiring the boys to victory. The girls are proudly wearing every medal possessed’by the company. The Drill Program, The ordinary mortal,,an@ also the aver- age militiaman, is totally wmfamiliar with the method of conducting the ¢rills proper at big interstate competitions. The drill program is made up by the judges of the drill, is printed under! their supervision, and the contents are inade known to no one until they are handed ‘fo the captains of the different companies for use. A drill program does not contain the or- ders as they are given {o the companies by the captains, but everything possible ‘s done to avoid giving him a clue as to what would be the proper corimand to give. The judges figure out the time necessary to carry out all these requisite,commands and the position in which a,company should end its drill after starting ‘from a given point. The program is full of technicalities, and the mere there are of such the better it is considered to be. A direction may appear in the and there may be half a dozen ways in which it could be executed, but the proper one would depend entirely upon the formation and position of the company at the time. For a captain to decide at sight just what is the right thing to do in a pro- gram of perhaps a hundred directions, and that before a large and nervous crowd of envious rivals, requires a man of cool judg- ment and one to whom drill regulations must be as familiar as the alphabet. Under the rules of the Memphis encamp- ment the programs for the drills are handed to the captains one hour before the drill, ard the companies are limited to forty-five minutes in which to execute all the com- mands. Rivals of the Fencibles. The companies which the Fencibles must defeat to again win the Galveston cup are the Chickasaw Guards, the Governor's Guards of Memphis, the Thurston Rifies of Omaha, the McCarthy Light Guard of Lit- tle Rock and the Morton, Cadets. It looks very simple. In the maiden class it seems as though the Mortons will meet only the Thurston Rifles. The latter organization, it is said, is composed largely of ex-mem- bers of the famous prize-winning Omaha Guards, and is commanded by the former captain of that company. Even though this be true, the Mortons are confident of taking first prize. CAREC! ee THE COURT Court of Appeals—Pr nt: The Chief Jus- tice, Mr. Justice Morris and Mr. Justice Shepard. B. F.

One of the Oldest and Best Known Citizens of the District. James A. Tait died this morning at his home, 16 3d street southeast, in the eighty- fourth year of his age. He was one of the oldest residents of the District, having come to Washington nearly eighty years ago. *Squire” Tait, as he was generally Known, was born in Scotland, and came to this country when an infant. Like meny others of our well-known citizens,.-he received his education at Mc(loud’s Acad- emy and the private school of Alexander McCormick. He had filled many positions of trust, and leaves be! 1 him the price- less legacy of a good name. He was super- Intendent of the stone work “during the erection of the treasury building, was one of the canal commissioners and inspector and receiver of materials at the Capitol under Gen, Meigs. Before the war he was connected with the volunteer infantry of this city, and in 1861 entered the Union service. He was second in command cf the District volunteers, under Gen. Charles P, Stone, during the three months’ service. When this service expired he organized a regiment. He outranked, it is claimed, any volunteer colonel, and commanded a bri- gade during his whole service in the army. He served under Gen. Banks in the Val- ley of Virginia and participated in the bat- tles of Cedar mountain and second Bull Run under Gen. Pope and at South Moun- tain and Antietam under Gen. Mansfield. He was provost marshal of the defenses of the Potomac, and was stationed at Alex- ardria. Later he received the appointment of special agent of the quartermaster gen- eral’s department. ‘Squire Tait also par- | ticipated in the battles at Nashville and Mobile, and was at Montgomery, Ala., un- der the command of Gen. A. J. Smith when the war closed. Before the war he was president of the old Columbia Fire Company for fourteen consecutive years, and at one time was a member of the board of aldermen of this city. He was for many years a member of the board of commissioners. He was a member of the Oldest Inhabitants’ Asso- ciation, and was the oldest Odd Fellow in the District. He was initiated in Wash- irgton Lodge, No. 6, December 20, 1836. At that time the lodge met in a room over Waiker & Kemble’s stable on C street, where Havenner’s bakery is now located. When President Lincoln was inaugurated *Squire Tait was in command of the troops that escorted him to take the oath of of- ce. He leaves a daughter, Miss Cornelia Tait. The interment will be at Congressional cemetery. ———— LING REGULATIONS. They Practically Nullify All Measure of Protection for the Seals. The administration is said to regard the volicy of Great Britain toward the seal fisieries as disastrous to that important industry. Pending the adoption of uniform regulati6n r the government of the fish- eries, the British government refuses posi- tively to re-enszt the regulation of last year, which prohibits the carrying of fire- arms by sealing vessels through the zone north of the thirty-@tt parallel during the closed season. The United States is dis- posed to insist on this prohibition on the ground that it is necessary to prevent the indisctiminate slaughter of the seals. While killing by firearms remains illegal, it is realized that it will be impossible to en- force this prohibition if arms can be freely carried, for the sealers would k!! freely unless they should happen te bo under the very eye of the revenue cutter. Mean- while the United States cutters have gone cut under the old instructions to seize all vessels carrying arms not undér seal. These must be modified speedtiy by orgers sent through the Alaskan Commercial Company’s steamer, which leaves San Francisco in a day or two, or else there may be another big claim for damages on account of illegal seizures filed by tke British government. The attitude of the latter is viewed with much dissatisfaction at the State Department, where it is re- garded as an evidence of unwarrantable concession to the Canadian pelagic sealers. It is also held that the effect of the British action is to practically nullify all measure of protection for the seals that was con- ferred by the Paris arbitration, and it would not be surprising, if this course ix persisted in, if it resulted in a declaration by the United States of the abrogation of the treaty. — —————— $1.25 To Baltimore and Return $1.25 via B, and 0.

BRITISH S TO MEET TOMORROW The Annual Session of the Presby- terian General Assembly. ABOUT FIFTY DELEGATES ON HAND Exchanging Greetings and Prepar- ing for Work. CANDIDATES FOR MODERATOR ———_-_+____ PITTSBURG, Pa., May 15.—There are about fifty of the commissioners to the Presbyterian general assembly present now, and they will not all be here before tomorrow. Among those already on the field are Rev. Dr. S. A. Mutchmore of Philadelphia, the retiring moderator; Rev. Dr. Robert Russell Booth of New York, who is the ieading candidate of this as- sembly; Rev. Dr. William H. Roberts of Philadelphia, stated clerk of the assembly, and Rey. Dr. W. C. Roberts of New York, secretary of the board of home missions. The day is being spent in greetings and in quietly laying the plans for the coming session. Although the real work of the as- sembly does not begin until tomorrow, the first popular meeting will be held tonight in the Third Church, It will be in the in- terest of the boards’ of home and foreign missions. The subject of the new $1,250,000 mission to be built on Fifth avenue, New York, will come up for discussion before the assembly. Thomas McDougall of Cincinnati is out in a pamphlet opposing the plan. He con- demns it as a perversion of trust funds and as a bad business investment, and det- rimental to the interests of the church, The pamphlet is in the hands of every commissioner and the opposition will be strong. The home mission people will at- tack Mr. McDougall’s motives, as well as his judgment, and the matter is expected to stir up the first fight of the session. Another matter that will probably stir up considerable trouble is the fact that the Presbyterian book store has been es- tablished in the basement of the Third Church here. Many consider it improper for the Philadelphia board of publication to come into the territory of the Pitts- burg Presbyterian book stere and com- pete. The Pittsburg book store has the right on eleven of the surrounding pres- byteries. A ‘The report of the business of the General Assembly Herald may stir up some trou- ble. It is a monthly publication in the interests of the general assembly and the editors receive no remuneration. It is the desire of some factions to make it a weekly paper, and to enlarge its scope, giv- ing attention to local affairs: This would be the death blow to local denominational papers. A number of dark horses are coming to the front as candidates for moderator. Among the latest to appear are Rey. J. D. Blackburn, D. D., of Covington, Ky., and Rev. Dr. Maxon of California. Those who attended the. meeting of the assembly at Pertland, Oreg., reflect on the fact that a pool was formed by various delegations which met on the way who were success- fui in the election of their candidate. It is possible that the western delegation may Tepeat these tactics prior to the election of moderator, and succeed in breaking all slates but their own. Dr. Booth still remains a favorite can- didate in Pittsburg and the east. oe TO DISCUSS SOUND MONEY. Places That Will Be Represented at Memphis.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash., May 15.— Unexpected orders have been received from Wastirgton for the revenue cutter Grant to immediately prepare for sea. Some days ago’ the department ordered the cutter laid up for thirty days to effect necessary repairs. The work had been fairly commenced when orders came to suspend operations and prepare for a cruise to the North Pacific ocean. This move- ment is thcught to have been actuated by the refusal of the British authorities to renew Bering sea regulations and the de- sire of the United States government to communicate with its cutters now patrol- ling the sea. Under the present complicated arrangements should other cutters seize British sealers upon the high seas for violation of the sealing regulations, seri- ous complications might arise between the two governments. As soon'as the Grant is ready for sea she will leave for the north in search of Com- marder Hooper of the steamer Rush, to whom dispatches from the department were delivered.
